[Verse 1]
G       Cadd9                       Em7
How many days did I spend thinking 'bout

             D
how you did me wrong, wrong, wrong?

G       Cadd9
Lived in the shade you were throwing

Em7                    D
'til all of my sunshine was gone, gone, gone

G     Cadd9                   Em7
And I couldn't get away from ya

            D
In my feelings more than Drake so yeah

G      Cadd9                  Em7
Your name on my lips tounge-tied

         D
Free-rent, living in my mind

G*   D*         Em7*      D*   Cadd9*      D*
But then something happened one magical night...
[Chorus]
                   G     Cadd9 Em7
I forgot that you existed

D                                           G     Cadd9 Em7
And I thought that it would kill me, but it didnt

D          G   Cadd9 Em7 D
And it was so ni-i-i-i-i-ice

     G            Cadd9 Em7 D
So peaceful and qui-i-i-i-i-i-iet

           G   Cadd9  Em7
I forgot that you existed

D                                        G
It isn't love, it isn't hate, it's just indifference
Cadd9 Em7 D [Verse 2]
G
It was so nice throwing big parties

G
Jump into the pool from the balcony

G
Everyone's living in a champagne sea

G
There are no rules when you show up here

G
Bass beat rattling the chandelier

G
Feeling so Gatsby for that whole year
[Pre-Chorus]
Cadd9*                  D*
So why'd you have to rain on my parade?

Am*                 D*
I'm shaking my head, I'm locking the gates
[Chorus]
                   G     Cadd9   Em7    D   G
This is why we can't have nice things, dar-ling

     Cadd9             Em7               D
Because you break them, I have to take them
away-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
G                   Cadd9       Em7    D   G
This is why we can't have nice things, hon-ey

Cadd9                         Em7
Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said

 D
about me-e-e-e-e-e?

G                   Cadd9             Em7 D
This is why we can't have nice things
[Post-Chorus]
G      Cadd9    Em7    D
Da Da Da Da Da-Da-Da-Da Da

G      Cadd9    Em7

D
I forgot that you...

G*
Sent me a clear message

Em7*
Taught me some hard lessons

     Cadd9*             D*
I just forget what they were
It's all just a blur... [Bridge]
 G           Cadd9       Em7
So heres a toast to my real friends

                  D
They don't care about that he-said she-said

 G             Cadd9
And here's to my baby

Em7                 D                  G
He ain't reading what they call me lately

     Cadd9          Em7
And here's to my mama

         D
Had to listen to all this drama

G*            G/F*
And here's to you

Cadd9*                                D*
because forgiveness is a nice thing to do
N.C. HaHaHaHaHaHa Ahh HaHaHaHaHaHa ah... I can't even say it with a straight face!!! [Chorus]
                          G     Cadd9   Em7  D
This is what we can't have nice things, dar-ling

G                       Cadd9         Em7      D
Because you break them, I have to take them away-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay

G                        Cadd9   Em7       D
This is why we can't have nice things, hon-ey

G          Cadd9                 Em7
Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said

      D

[Outro]
              G
This is why we can't have

Cadd9     Em7

D              G
And here's to my real friends

Cadd9    Em7

And here's to my baby

Cadd9    Em7

D                         G*
They don't care about that he-said she-said
Cadd9~ Em7~ Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things you said
       D
about me-e-e-e-e-e

G*                                  G*
This is why we can't have nice things...
